Adding custom tags

To add customized messages to notification plugin message fields:

  1. Create psntfsvc.m4 in <instance>\design\custom\ , if it does not already exist.

  2. Add lines to the custom file in the following format:

    !!!<MESSAGE_TAG>
<text>

    where <text> can include HTML code and M4 macros.

    For example:

    !!!SIMPLE_MESSAGE_TAG
Have a <strong>good</strong> day.
!!!TRANSLATABLE_MESSAGE
CUSTOM_MACRO_1
CUSTOM_MACRO_2
CUSTOM_MACRO_3

  3. To define text in multiple languages, create the < lang > - < locale > -language.kvg file for each supported language in <DESIGN>\custom\ if it does not already exist.

  4. Edit the macro definitions as required, in the format:

    "CUSTOM_MACRO_1" "" = { 
  "text" = "This is the first line of the message" 
} 
"CUSTOM_MACRO_2" "" = { 
  "text" = "... the second" 
} 
"CUSTOM_MACRO_3" "" = { 
  "text" = "...and the third.<br>Signed, your company" 
}

  5. In the relevant field in the Manage the system (PSA) module Configure notification plugins pages, type the corresponding tag beginning with !!! from psntfsvc.m4; for example, in Message to display to a non-compliant user for Set USERSTAT tag, type:

    !!!TRANSLATABLE_MESSAGE

  6. Recompile and install your skin (*.z) files by running make.bat in the design directory.
